Abstract
Different mechanisms have been identified or proposed to explain biological control of Fusarium wilt by nonpathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum (Alabouvette, 1990; Mandeel and Baker, 1991). One of them is related to competition for nutrients in soil and rhizosphere. This hypothesis was proposed as the result of studies of suppressive soils. In order to explain the suppressiveness of the soil from Châteaurenard, Rouxel et al. (1979) first suggested the existance of intrageneric and/or intraspecific competition between pathogenic and nonpathogenic fusaria; thereafter, it was proposed that suppression was due to nutrient competition between pathogenic and nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum (Alabouvette et al., 1984). Recently, Mandeel and Baker (1991) examined the possibility of the association of this mechanism with biological control of Fusarium wilt of cucumber by two nonpathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum.
